AIM Surplus

[paperboy]

Ok, I was going to order some ammo from AIM. I went to checkout and noticed they want a copy of my drivers license (should've read the procedure first) Who else has ordered from there and did you have to send them a copy of your info? Guess I'm overly protective of my privacy!!!!!

 

[SmileDocHill]

I've bought there many times, and yes they have a copy of my ID. Great place to deal with. I've bought from other places online also and I seem to remeember that most all of them need that. Others will chime in with more informed answers though.

I've had many many good transactions with them as well. I shared your concern about protecting my ID, but alas my cravings for ammo got the better of me.

 

[Bluedragon]

My guess is it's to show you are of legal age to buy the ammo, and perhaps the location you provide to have the ammo shipped to matches where it says on your DL?

Still I would be sketched out too if I were you. I hate giving out any kind of info over the net.

This is common practice with ammo ordering
How else do they or can they prove they sold ammo to someone over 21 or 18?
I've sent it many times over the last 20 years to many places
AIM is a good place to deal with IMHO

You have to fax or mail the copy

I understand that they don't want to sell to an underage buyer, and I don't have a problem with that, but I think that they are the only place I have bought from that has asked me for ID for an ammo purchase. I have not found it to be a common practice.

I wonder why it is that more places don't do it.

Love ordering from Aim. You have to give em a copy of your license but it's worth it for the prices and customer service.

They ship fast too.

Just take a digital picture of your DL and upload it and be done with it.

If you don't want to then don't order.

You can mail them a copy and be good to go from then on. You have to remember they are liable for prosicution if they sell to underage, or say someone from Illinois who doesn't have a FOID.

Aim is a great company to do business with, and I would hate to see them go out of business because they accidently sold ammo to an underage person. Help keep them in business and send them a copy of your license.

I've been buying from AIM for the past 3 years, best move I ever made.
I faxed a photo copy one time, that is all they need.
They seem to always have what I need, and I don't feel like I have been gouged.
Also it frees up more of my cash on hand to buy firearms and other gear at gun shows, where cash is king. As I use a charge card with AIM, and pay it out of a different checking acct. than my other money.
Go ahead it'll be o.k. and like someone else said they do ship fast, as they are only in Ohio, it usually shows up 2 days after I order.

 

[paperboy]

well, I just orderd from AIM...They had 500 rnds of 7.62x39 for $117 with shipping...I thought that was a great deal!!!!

 

[223 Gunner]

That is a good deal, I hope the ammo prices keep falling.

 

[bobbystoney]

well, I just orderd from AIM

And now you're gonna be hooked.

The other option besides your DL is to send a copy of your C&R license.... You DO have a C&R license, don't you? Best 30 bucks I ever spent. Twice now. My purchases have saved me the cost of the license and then some, and I have to say it is very cool having the Big Brown Truck show up and the guy hand you a big box which you know contains a rifle. Having to clean off the cosmo is worth it, IMHO.

Blessings,
Bill

 

[bobbystoney]

You DO have a C&R license, don't you?

I don't. Is there a thread on here that will walk me through the process of getting one?

Getting your C&R FFL

I went to Aim once and they required your DL copy even in person. Great place to do business with though.
